There have been discussions of splitting xpert (comp.windows.x)
in the past, most of which have vetoed for one reason or another.

If there should be a split at some time in the future, I'd like
to suggest that it spin off the discussion of contributed software
from the X core discussion, i.e split xpert into xpert and xcontrib
(comp.windows.x.contrib).  xcontrib would take bug reports, release
announcements, usage questions, etc.

I'll take a straw poll by email (mail stuff to emv@math.lsa.umich.edu)
and summarize here.

A quick eyeballing of comp.windows.x right now shows
roughly 5 or 6 of the last 20 postings might have been suitable
for comp.windows.x.contrib.
